Youwei, the heir of the Red Chamber

The disappearance of King Zhongshun stirred up waves.

The person in charge disappeared, and it was too late to send people from Beijing. The emperor ordered Jia Lian to temporarily act as a representative and minister, and secretly ordered him to find out the whereabouts of King Zhongshun.

Jia Lian was ordered in the face of danger, some people were happy and some were worried, at this juncture, this opportunity may be a good opportunity, but it cannot be said to be a catastrophe.After the Rongguo Mansion got the news, Jia Amnesty led Mrs. Xing to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva and asked Jia Lian for a peace talisman.

After holding the red peace talisman consecrated by the master, Jia She caressed his beard and smiled, "With this peace talisman, Lian'er will be safe and sound. This time he has received the grace of God, and he has a bright future in the future, Lao Tzu." Follow the scenery too, hahahaha."

Mrs. Xing suppressed Jia She's smirk, her mouth opened and closed, and she struggled for a while before she said: "Master, no one can say anything about the front line, and our talisman can't be sent to hurt Lian'er."

When Jia She heard this, his face collapsed immediately, his eyes fixed on the red talisman in his hand, "Hiss—that's right."

Mrs. Xing pursed her lips, and said in her heart, "Sure enough, this is the virtue." Without Lian'er by his side, this master is like that worthless young boy, who doesn't consider everything thoroughly. Fortunately, Lian'er was changed in the mansion before. It's an obedient person, otherwise, if he leaves, the second bedroom will still be in trouble.

"Oh, I see." Jia Amnesty clapped his hands happily, and Mrs. Xing trembled in shock.Caressing the heart, "Master, you scared me to death."

Jia She raised her hand cheerfully, and put the red talisman in front of Madam Xing, "Ma'am, Lian'er and I are like father and son, and I wear this talisman just like Lian'er does. From now on, I will replace it every day." He's wearing it." After finishing speaking, he wrapped it around his neck, and the red amulet hung firmly on Jia She's old neck.

Mrs. Xing: "..." Can this be the same?

Having settled the matter on his mind, Jia Amnesty had nothing to do, hummed a ditty and told Mrs. Xing, "Hurry up and prepare some food and wine for the master. Let's have a drink today. By the way, go and get some food." The girl Yingchun also called over, Master, I am going to test her homework today, so I can't waste all that money."

"Yes..." Mrs. Xing walked out the door without a word, followed by a group of maids and women, their faces were flushed, obviously they were very uncomfortable.

Jia Lian, who was far away in Yecheng in the eastern border, naturally didn't know that his inconspicuous and cheap father Jia She had done such a foolish thing. Now the situation in Yecheng and the army on the border of Rouran made him feel very stressed.

After Lin Tuo heard the news of Jia Lian's arrival in Yecheng, he immediately returned to the hotel from Rouran.

Wearing soft clothes, a felt hat, and beards on his face, even Zhu Kui couldn't recognize him at a glance.The two almost fought, but fortunately Jia Lian made a move to stop them.

Lin Tuo turned around and hid behind Jia Lian, took off the clothes on his face, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are really a brave and foolish brother pig, hahahaha."

"You boy!" Zhu Kui was about to teach him a lesson when he saw Jia Lian shaking his head, so he gave up.

Seeing Jia Lian's serious face, Lin Tuo didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he saluted in a regular manner, and took out a sheepskin cloth in his arms. "Young Master, this is the layout plan of Rouran's army. They have increased their troops suddenly in the past few days, and the generals inside said that the soldiers were invited by the third prince of Rouran."

"Sudden increase in troops..." Jia Lian fell into deep thought.

Zhu Kui frowned and said, "Could it be another fierce battle?"

"Maybe it's a battle of life and death." Jia Lian said suddenly.Turning around and looking at Lin Tuo, he asked, "Have you heard any news about King Zhongshun in Rouran?"

Lin Tuo shook his head, "No, I have only been walking in the army, and it would be difficult to get in if it is farther away, but I know that there is a Rouran palace built in the inner city of Rouran, which was the founding king of Rouran back then. It was built for patrolling the frontier, and I heard that there has been a sudden increase in manpower recently."

Jia Lian's dark eyes flashed slightly when he heard the words, and he suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, "If the ordinary Rouran royal family lives here, there is no need to suddenly increase the number of troops, I'm afraid there are other important people."

Lin Tuo's eyes widened, "Master, you mean King Zhongshun is in the palace?"

Jia Lian shook his head and said with a smile, "Not necessarily, but it is indeed an important clue."

"Knock, knock, knock" came the sound of knocking on the door.

"My lord, Feng Xianfeng is asking to see you outside."

"Feng Ziying?"

Since the development of the two countries three years ago, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying have never met each other again, and when the country is fighting fiercely, it is difficult to send even a letter. However, Jia Lian can still get a little bit of news from the frontier, such as Feng Ziying has repeatedly made military exploits, and is now a pioneer in the barracks.To be able to get the position of pioneer at his age is indeed a young talent.

When Jia Lian went to the outer hall, he saw a young general in a silver-white battle armor. That man's complexion was no longer that of the fair-faced and handsome young man in Kyoto. The iron-blooded man of the country.

"Brother Feng, please stay safe."

When Feng Ziying saw Jia Lian, she was stunned for a moment, and when she heard Jia Lian's greeting, she said, "Don't come here without any problems. I haven't seen you for so many years, but Brother Jia hasn't changed at all."

The people in the hotel served tea, and they left when they saw Jia Lian beckoning.

Feng Ziying didn't drink tea, but just smiled at Jia Lian and said, "You came to Yecheng as a peace negotiating minister, and my father and I should have greeted you in person, but my father is injured, so I can't come, and I can't come." It is because there are many things in the army that it has been delayed so far, I hope Brother Jia will not be offended."

Jia Lian handed out the teacup, tapped the table with his right hand, and suddenly laughed lightly, "Feng Jia and his family are family friends, and you and I are young companions, so why bother to see each other like this. Besides, I am only a temporary substitute. In terms of experience, I need you and General Feng to give me a lot of pointers."

Feng Ziying seemed very satisfied with Jia Lian's answer, with a gleam of joy in his eyes, but with shame on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Ziying would like to thank Brother Jia for his understanding." Jia Lian said: "Replacing wine with tea, toasting Brother Jia is an apology."

Jia Lian was also serving tea to each other, but a faint light flashed in his dark eyes, so fast it was hard to catch.

After the two of them put down the tea cups, Feng Ziying just got to the point, "This time the Holy Majesty advocated peace talks, my father and I have already prepared for it. We thought that the peace talks could be completed as soon as possible, but unexpectedly something like that happened suddenly in Rouran. It's getting harder and harder to control."

"Brother Feng must also know that before this matter, King Zhongshun was in charge of the overall situation. I also don't know the whole story. If you can provide some information on the frontier, it will be beneficial to the peace talks."

Feng Ziying's complexion flashed past, "I came here today to inform you about the situation in the frontier. Now besides my father and me, there are eight other generals in the frontier. They are all bloody people. This peace talk has cost me a lot of thought. Give them peace of mind. As for the strength of the troops, they have suffered a lot in the past few years, and most of the available ones are veterans who were preparing for battle in the rear, so they are indeed at a disadvantage in terms of combat strength."

"I want to know, if there is a war, how many troops can be used?"

"15."

Jia Lian didn't say anything, just tapped the table lightly a few times before nodding his head, "Brother Feng remembers clearly."

Feng Ziying's complexion did not change, and said: "To count every day, I must be familiar with it by heart."

"Okay, Brother Feng is really hardworking. No wonder people have heard many people praise Little General Feng's reputation since he came here. He really lives up to the truth."

Jia Lian lowered his eyelids lightly, took a sip of the tea from the teacup, and when he raised his head, he returned to normal color.With a warm smile on his face, "Today you and I meet an old friend, why don't I ask someone to prepare some thin wine for a drink, hahaha, Ziying has exactly this intention."

After Feng Ziying left, Jia Lian's calm eyes suddenly became dark and turbulent.It seems that the past few years have not been in vain in the frontier. This once ignorant general has finally begun to get involved in this abyss that no one knows, or he has finally found the way he once said.

When they returned to the study, Lin Tuo and Zhu Kui were still waiting in place.Seeing Jia Lian enter the door, he just asked, "My lord, what should I do next?"

With one hand behind his back, Jia Lian walked to the table and looked at the map of Rouran's marching formation. After a while, there was no sound in the room.Lin Tuo and Zhu Kui also waited quietly for the order.

Finally, Jia Lian turned around and faced the two with a serious expression, "This time I will go to Rouran myself."

The two were shocked when they heard the words, Lin Tuo didn't quite agree, he frowned and looked worried, "But son, the situation in Rouran is very complicated now, even King Zhongshun is missing, which shows how powerful the other party is."

Zhu Kui followed along and said, "That's right, my lord, or else let me go with Lin Tuo and ask you for any news, why take the risk yourself."

Jia Lian shook his head, "No, since the two of you are by my side, you are already being watched. Even if one of them disappears suddenly, people will be suspicious. I will go in person, they will never expect me, a civil servant, to go to Rourou alone. However, it is easier to act.”

Lin Tuo said worriedly: "This...then what should you do if other people come to your lord, the one who came to negotiate a peace is not your lord. Especially that lord Xu who is also from Hanlin."

The Master Xu that Lin Tuo mentioned was Xu Wencai, who was the second best in high school with Jia Lian.This person is quite knowledgeable, but his literary spirit is too heavy to be favored by the sage, and he is pedantic, so the relationship between the court and the court is not good. However, he is also highly educated in language, so he has become an accompanying civil servant.But Xu Wencai was used to it and couldn't understand Jia Lian's ascendancy to the throne relying on "nepotism", so he thought of ways to find fault.

"You don't have to worry about this person. He will say that I have caught a cold, and he will not dare to investigate."

Thinking about Xu Wencai's fear of death, Lin Tuo felt that it made sense. "But the others?"

The accompanying officials need not worry too much, but the Feng family father and son in the army are not so easy to fool, maybe they can be exposed in a day, and then there will be chaos again.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plan."

That night, the hotel in Yecheng where Jia Lian was staying was in chaos.Jia Lian, the minister of peace talks, did not conform to the conditions and conditions of the frontier, so he couldn't afford it.
